The courage to live alone

Living alone... Sounds easy?? definitely not.
I ve been trying to rent a flat in chennai so that my mom/dad/bro can come and stay there without a second thought. But still now I have not made a strong decision to rent a flat for myself. The reasons are as follows


  1. Dad is still running a shop in hometown (theni). Mom can come and stay for few weeks but definitely need to go to back to theni. So it is not feasible for mom to travel 500kms every month to and fro. It is a health risk.

  2. Current bachelor life costs me only 10000 INR a month and I can save big money. But if I stay alone I will need 25000 INR

  3. When mom or dad or bro is not staying with me in chennai then I will be alone. Loneliness is a big problem.

Inspite of all the above problems something still prompts me to look for a new house. What are those reasons.. see below



  1. Roommates do not keep the house neat. Especially I need the house to be in neat order when I come home from office or even after a weekend home-town visit.

  2. Sharing the amount spent and answering for the calculations done is irritating. No one do the spending or calcualtion. I need to do all these nonsense.

  3. Watching any tv-program or online-movies (including porn movies) is kind of not so personal. You need to adjust to situations.

  4. If mom/dad/relatives want to visit you in chennai, then it is not comfortable for them to stay in bachelor's house. My mom/dad have never visited my house after I joined in TCS. This really sucks. You earn so much but you cannot bring your mom/dad and spend sometime with them.

Now at this very moment I am in a dilemma what to do.. that is why writing this piece of thought..
